Nigeria women’s national team home kit has been voted the best jersey of the Fifa Women’s World Cup held last year in France.
The Africans have beaten their European and Oceania rivals to claim the best jersey of last’s year tournament at the French country.
The Super Falcons turned out in their eight appearance at the tournament in a heady mixture of cool green, white, and black evoke sensations of spearmint gum, while the blurred chevrons ooze cool.
The home kit, which was designed by Nike and unveiled in 2018, earned numerous reviews during the global showpiece, hence its nomination according to Fifa.
The Falcons were the only African country at the global showpiece shortlisted for the four-nation jersey poll, which also includes England, Australia, and Germany.
The voting, which ended on Monday, had 2,348 people involved in the voting process, with Nigeria finishing top with 50 percent of the votes.
Behind the Nigerian jersey, Australia came second with 21% and England ranked third with 15% while Germany finished fourth with 15% in the four-nation ranking.
The Super Falcons recorded a 2-0 victory over South Korea – which was their only win of the tournament but the win was enough to send the West Africans to the Round of 16 for the first time since 1999.
Having been knocked out by Germany last summer, the African champions will celebrate their international victory via the fan poll over the European giants and two-time world champions.
